Operator: Constantin Mirea, trading as PC Flipper, United Kingdom
Sites: pcflipper.co.uk and pcflipper.uk
This explains what we collect and why. It sits next to our Terms. By creating an account you agree to both.
PC Flipper is a UK marketplace noticeboard. We are the controller of personal data collected on the site.
Account: name, email, password (stored hashed), optional profile details, role (including admin). Listings: titles, descriptions, specs, prices in GBP, location, photos (compressed), status, dates. Messages between users about ads. Watchlists, sold-buyer links, reviews (including pending stranger reviews). Technical: IP address, browser, cookies needed to keep you signed in and keep the site working. We do not collect card numbers for sales, because we do not take payment between buyers and sellers.
To run the site: accounts, ads, messages, reviews, safety (bans, fraud), and to contact you in-app (for example when an ad becomes Inactive after 2 months, or when someone reviews you). Legal bases we rely on: contract (providing the service you signed up for), legitimate interests (keeping the marketplace fair and secure), and consent where we ask for it.
We do not sell your data. We may share with: hosting and infrastructure providers who process data for us in order to run the site; the law, if required; the other user, where that is the point (your public ad, a review you published, a message you sent). Public ads, public reviews, and your public profile name are visible to guests.
We keep account and listing data while your account is open and for a reasonable period after (for disputes, safety, and backups). You may ask us to close the account and delete what we do not need to keep.
You can ask to access, correct, delete, or restrict your data, and to object to some processing. You can complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk). Use the Contact page / in-app messages to ask us.
We use cookies or local storage to keep you signed in and for basic site function. Not for third-party advertising.
The site is not for under-18s.
We will update this policy as the product grows. The date at the top will change.
